Thursday 5th April 1934

Warm and sunny, so now cheerfulness has won. Lunch on the Medes, and my last cigarette.

Evening, a deliberate stroll through Windsor Park (we go for a walk there tomorrow). Smoking a pipe, I calmly made plans as I wandered along the dark paths around Virginia Water. Climbed a hillock, too, and looked down onto the busy main road. My plans never bear fruit. Things happen unexpectedly. But I foolishly continue to casually plot!
